The JCT Design and Build Contract

Design and build contracting has increased enormously since the JCT published their first design and build form in 1981. Impetus was given to this by the issue of the second edition of the ACA Building Agreement in 1984, which can be used for design and build, and by the BPF manual which introduces a system imposing design liability on the contractor. This book considers the legal aspects of design and build contracts and looks at their practical applications on site.
